Hello. Im A website owner, currently running a comic reading website, currently im hosting my web server on Hetzner Dedicated Server:
Amd Ryzen 5 3600 6 Core 12 Thread And 64gb DDR4 Memory, It smoothly running on Average 8-10% CPU Usage, With 3% Ram usage. but i Got some Issue with hetzner regarding their TOS,
unfortunately i cant find dedicated server as low as hetzner offer, so i try buyvm 3 Cores Dedicated KVM Server and it cant handle my webserver for same price (80% Average CPU usage).
so i found this PHP Friends, Netcup, And DeinserverHost root server offering 8-10 Core dedicated (for netcup and phpfriend) and 10 vCPU for DeinserverHost, Do you think they can handle my website?
My page size is about 10-30 mb. with Peak User / 5 Minute in Google Analytics is About 1 - 2K User.
Hope you can help me choosing between those three. or give your recommendation

Keep the dedi you have and find a better way to stay within the ToS.
unfortunately i cant, its dmca issue tbh, but im looking for scapegoat for now until i can afford on much expensive offshore dedicated server after my adsense is payout about 1 week from now :sadge:
Just get a DMCA ignored VPS from incognet @MannDude and reverse proxy it, no more issues due to DMCA.
Use a reverse proxy to hide the hetzner dedi. Get a VPS with buyvm or whoever else allows such things, run haproxy on it and point your domain to the VPS.
can you give a tutorial links?
so using dmca-free vps to reverse proxy to main server?
Google "nginx reverse proxy".
Everyone will connect to proxy server and only see proxy server IP.
Proxy server connects to your server at Hetzner, gets data and forwards it to visitors. Hetzner server is completly invisible to others, everybody sees only proxy server. Be sure to block port 80/443 on main server, allow traffic on these ports only for proxy server IP.
If you won't block these ports then bots will still crawl site on main server, only proxy server should be able to connect to 80/443.
In future if main server CPU usage is too high you can offload encryption to proxy server and disable encryption (or lower cipher) on main server. Or you can add additional "main server" and proxy server can load balance between them.
Install wordops
Then run on the dmca ignored server:
wo site create DOMAIN.COM --proxy=HETZNER_IP:PORT
Then with iptables block (on the Hetzner server) port 80/443 (or whatever port you use) just how @AXYZE says.
Generally, German providers don't ignore DMCA, so in this respect, running from Hetzner to another German provider wouldn't make much sense
You can try Netcup's RS1000, which is cheap but very powerful. The address on my bookmark has a coupon for 3 months free.
Also, can i use cloudflare on proxy server?
yeah i know, just to buy enough time until i find dedicated server or solution to this problem lol

Just get a netcup RS server. Powerful vps with 2.5gbit link, alot of bw, and cpu is awesome.
Yes, but CF will give forward your proxy IP if they receive DMCA.
They only give the abuse email, and company name.
They never give your IP
witch port must i use on wordops config 443/80? do i nedd to install ssl aswell on proxy server?
Cloudflare trusted partners get origin IP if they need it
Fake DMCA wont work tho.
Edit: "We provide information in response to valid subpoenas issued under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512(h). We also have extended our trusted reporter program to certain rightsholder organizations to allow them to get access to sensitive origin IP address information we cannot otherwise make available due to security concerns."
Valid DMCA from trusted partner = they get origin IP

Now, that trusted partner thing, thats news to me wow
Whichever port you are using on your origin.
If using CF = no, else, yes.
Really depends on how you want to set it up. I do have SSL on both, proxy + origin, and still using CF on FULL, instead of flexible
